The data for analysis in this thesis are 160 samples of ETIMs collected from the official websites of museums in London, England.

The findings of this study were clearly presented based on survey of 160 English Texts Introducing Museums. With regard to layout, the Headline, the Slogan, the Illustration and the Body Copy are the four main components of ETIMs. Furthermore, relative clauses, the passive voice and imperative sentences are the most striking structures in ETIMs. In addition, descriptive adjectives, noun phrases as proper names, addressing terms and personal pronouns are prominent lexical choices in ETIMs. Finally, the investigation of cohesive devices revealed that reference, conjunction, repetition, ellipsis and synonym are the devices employed with high frequencies. On the basis of the findings, some practical implications for teaching and learning English were suggested.

It is hoped that the findings of this thesis will probably be useful for those who are interested in texts, especially English Texts Introducing Museums. 2024-07-01T04:18:19Z 2024-07-01T04:18:19Z 2016 luanvanthacsi https://data.ufl.udn.vn//handle/UFL/520 en application/pdf Trường Đại học Ngoại ngữ, Đại học Đà Nẵng
